The goals, format, curriculum, and faculty of a first-year medical school elective focusing on balancing commitments to a medical career and family are described in order to encourage replication at other institutions. While the course is offered to both men and women, the issues discussed have particular relevance to women physicians, the majority of whom continue to carry the major responsibilities for family and household in addition to their medical careers. Topics include: the rewards of being a parent, parent-child attachment, the dual-career family at different developmental stages, physicians' life-styles, family planning, child care and training options, specialty choice and practice alternatives. The eight sessions are presented through a combination of seminar, videotapes, readings, and interviews of physicians, their spouses and children.
介绍了一所医学院校针对一年级学生开设的选修课，该课程聚焦于平衡医学职业与家庭责任，包括课程目标、形式、课程设置及教员情况，旨在鼓励其他院校效仿。虽然该课程面向男性和女性学生，但所讨论的问题对女性医生尤为重要，她们中的大多数除了从事医疗职业外，还继续承担着家庭和家务的主要责任。主题包括：为人父母的收获、亲子依恋、处于不同发展阶段的双职工家庭、医生的生活方式、计划生育、儿童保育与培训选择、专业选择及执业方式。八门课程通过研讨会、录像带、阅读材料以及对医生及其配偶和子女的访谈等形式呈现。
